Caverns of the Souleater
Father told you these caverns hold a great treasure. But all you've found are endless tunnels and venomous snakes. As your torch burns low, you wonder if the gold was ever real. And why he didn't share this with your brother?!
Gameplay
Your goal is to escape these forsaken depths without being bitten by snakes. Torch should scare the snakes but once it wanes they will crawl to you and bit you. Unfortunately there's not much fuel in the torch so hurry up or put it off.
- Use the arrow keys to move the character
- Press Z to toggle torch
- Contemplate the path you took
- There are two endings, indicated by captions
- Caverns corridors are always the same

this is actually a very creative gameplay you've got going here. I just wish the snakes were a little more visible.
thx. i considered using doubled pixels but they just looked like wriggling salami.
